wol?

I have been trying to get wake on lan to work with no luck so
far. I don't know if it's a hardware, bios or linux problem.

The motherboard is an ECS 741GX-M with a SIS chipset. The bios
seems to support wol and I have enabled 'MACPME' in the bios.

When I look at the builtin ethernet port with ethtool it lists
the wol capability (g) and I can set the g flag but whenever
I shut it down (halt) and restart the wol is always disabled.

Running kernel 2.6.18 on Slackware 10.2.

Any hints appreciated.

thanks,
kw
